You seem to understand exactly what I'm talking about and I understand exactly what you're saying. You obviously have more experience with motorcycles and you can spit out the words I'm trying to get from my brain to my fingers.
I'm only speaking from my few days of experience riding a 1000. The necessity for me to shift on a 600 is what makes me do it. I like that, idk exactly why. I loved the 1000, but I found myself shifting so much less because I didn't have to. I'm 155 lbs and been riding 2 strokes for quite some time, so that may have something to do with it. I Just like the feeling and riding style of a 600 over a 1000 for now. You can't deny that the riding style between to two are pretty far apart and I just like 1 over the other. I can't get into it with you about all the differences between to two because I lack a ton of experience/knowledge. I just went on a gut feeling with my choice of a 600. I know all the shifting and winding may get old, but I prefer it as of now. I'm 20, fuck planning for the future. When I want a 1000, I'll get a 1000.
